Where are your bridesmaids............

Hi

my bridesmaids are going in first and they will be standing with me at the front on one side and bestman groomsman on other.mum and dad will be sitting on front row.

Hmm, hadn't really thought about it!

One BM is my sis and one is OH sis and neice.

My Mum is walking me down the aisle so i guess for me, BM and mum will all be sat on the front row on my side!

Don't forget, it's meant to be about you, not your BM- there'll be plenty of time to look at the BM during the pics and reception

Doubt that helps at all!

Hi

i have never been to a wedding were the bridal party sits down and have never really thought of them doing so because off this. how long is your wedding going to be.the bridesmaids will be sitting to the left of me at the wedding breakfast and the grooms/bestman to the right of my self and hubby.

Conversely, I don't think I've been to one where they stand up - are we talking thoughout the whole service? When I got married about 9 years ago I'm sure only me and ex-hubbie stood up throughout. It wasn't a very big room so if BMs had stood no one else would have been able to see. At my cousins wedding a year or so ago (church wedding) I'm pretty sure her BMs sat too, she had about 7 of them so again maybe it was just because they would have blocked everyone's view but it was quite a lengthy service so I think they would have been a bit fidgetty if they had to stand.

I don't know what we'll do yet for ours but I think the venue set up plays a part in deciding - and we haven't chosen it yet!

I stood through out my brothers wedding.... ive never seen bridesmaids sit down to be honest...... will have to see what the minister suggests in his church but sitting down during the service wasnt part of it. As for the meal, they will be split up, sitting next to their grandparents and the cbm will be on my opposite to OH's best man.

this is the room we're getting married in below, front rows i was thinking parents each side as well as best man then second row 3 bridesmaids and 3 ushers then grandparents, aunties etc then friends going back...

where are you putting your witnesses?

Beautifull.are you haveing seat covers

Coming in before me and my dad

2 x pageboys my son & nephew

Our BM's are going in first:

Matron of Honour(SIL) coming in with My Brother (usher 1)

Cheif Bridesmaid (SIL2B) coming in with her Fiancee (usher 2)

Bridesmaid (H2BCousin) coming in with My nephew (usher 3) he 10 so gorgeous, i more looking forward to seeing all the kids in there tuedo's

Usually its the bridesmaids, bride, groom, best man that stand at the front for the whole service in that order (if you are looking from behind)

The parents will sit in the row of seats behind the bridal party.

We were at a wedding last year where the bridesmaid sat down and could see people gesturing at her to stand up. She didnt get the hint at all! my oh was the best man and said that the bride and groom were not best pleased.

She had been at the rehearsal so it wasnt as if she didnt know! lol

meant to say that my bridesmaids will enter the church first and when they are near the end of the aisle, i'll start to enter.

I want them to do it this way as I need the time for the piece of music to play in full. I know that it will end as I get to the alter and didnt want them to stop it as soon as I got there leaving the bridesmaids walking to nothing.

Plus, I dont want to have them shuffling about behind me trying to squeeze into position when they get to the alter

I hadn't even thought about this!! Argh! yet another thing I have to think about! Can't even remember how any people there are in each row at our venue... Is there an order people are supposed to sit in? I think we may have a fight on our hands if H2Bs parents have to sit together!
